Nerdbugs Eye Plush - Ophthalmologist & Optometrist Gift, Eye Surgeon & Cataract Gift

Cute gift came in nicely thank you.

This is an adorable plush toy and perfect for an optometrist friend or relative! It has the cute little details and friendly design that should play well and it isn't scary at all for the young ones. We are very happy with the design and the quality! It makes a great conversation piece and is a perfect accent pillow too.

So before I get into the storytime, I'll just say a few things about the product itself to save you time. It has high quality stitching with great detail in the design. The fabric is incredibly soft with a light fuzz, but not so much fuzz that it's instantly suctioned up all the cathair on the bed. The eye has zero smell at all, completely neutral if I bury my face in it. The little dangling optic nerve gives you a great grabbing point to move it around. And it's happy. A happy eye!I do have one complaint, that the pictures for the Amazon site don't really give you a good feeling of scale on these. I expected my eye to be a lot smaller, since it was being tossed around by a couple of little girls. But when he arrived, I was VERY pleasantly pleased how much larger he was in real life. This is a good big eye! I'm happy with how large and what good quality he is.In order to help the rest of you see it to scale, I've provided a picture of my eye, with a rather confused cat friend, a bag of chips, and a full size 3.5 inch retired old platter Hard Disk Drive (his name is Rupert and don't mention his age he gets grumpy).Now for the sappy story. I was shot in the eye with an arrow when I was 5 years old. Decades and many eye surgeries later, it finally ended in a painful degenerative glaucoma and prosthetic ocular shell. Kids are mean, and I spent a lot of time being picked on for the unfortunate luck to have a funny looking eye. This is hard for kids, and I didn't exactly have any adult support either, since that time frame the attitudes of parents was "just water off a duck's back now leave me alone I'm busy". So this eye brings tears to my eyes, and gets lots of hugs, and as a 52 year old woman I thank nerdbugs and hope that this bring love and comfort to other 5 year old children out there who have to experience what I did.

This arrives in a taped acetate bag.If giving this as a gift, it would be difficult to wrap as it arrives. It will fill a standard sized gift bag (or go up one size for a roomier fit), or pop it into an appropriately sized box to wrap. This would make a good gift for a Doctor within the eye field (Optometrist, eye surgeon, etc.) who has a soft side or anyone with a uniquely quirky style that likes stuffies (I bet Wednesday Addams would love this). If the recipient you're thinking of has other body part/virus/bacteria/parasite stuffies or has indicated an interest in something like that, then chances are they'll enjoy getting this eye. Yes, all of these do exist & they are adorable!A beautifully piercing blue eye, complete with a cute/kawaii face on the sclera (the white part of the eye), & a section of optic nerve, it is velvety soft & surprisingly easy to cuddle in the crook of your arm to sleep with (like a small Nerf basketball, but much softer).This is quirky, cute, & right up my ally. If it's right up your alley also (or that of a loved one), then I highly recommend.

This is an odd but very cute little eyeball. There are blood veins that run towards that back of the eye to not take asway from the cute face. And the optic nerve is like a little piggy tail.The materials are high quality, and the stitching is thick and very defined for the characters facial features as well as the cornea and pupil.The eye is soft and cuddle worthy. It can't stand on its own, so you'll have to place it on a stand or in a corner if you want it on display in your office.Overall, I think this is a great eyeball and a fun gift for that special friend or a child or is learning about the optometrist.

My 16-year-old saw this and immediately asked to order it for her 12-year-old brother who doesn't exactly have a phobia of eyes, but who has commented on being grossed out by eyeballs in general. This is the perfect gift for him. It's got the essential eyeball parts without being gross or gruesome. It is a fairly soft stuffed toy that's made well and actually could work for cuddling. I like that a smiley face has been added to the side--it sort of balances out the fact that there's a vein hanging out of the end.

I got the as a gift to give to my opthalmologist/optometrist the next time I see him, probably sometime next year.It's a soft squishy cute stuffed toy that looks like an eye with a happy chibi style face on it. It seems to be of good quality.Not much more to say here...it looks like the advertised pictures.If I didn't get these to give away later as gifts and they were a bit bigger, I'd probably keep them to use as pillows on my couch.

I never thought that I would have a giant stuffed eyeball but welcome to 2023! This thing is just too cute and it brings a smile to my face 😂! My kids also like it LOL! If you are looking for a wild and wacky gift to give your friends look no further! Everyone needs a giant eyeball, right?!?! The toy does not feel cheap and it looks good on my bed to boot. I would definitely recommend toys from this company. They are just too wild and wacky and adorable, and I bet nobody else has one ha ha!!!!
